“Here?” Hearing that they came up to his door to ask for a fight, Hong Dali flipped his body to the other side and said, “Isn’t fighting not allowed?”

“It’s just sparring, not considered fighting.” The Green-level Honorary Aristocrat smiled and said, “How about it?”

“Not interested.” Hong Dali directly ignored them. “Don’t waste your time doing useless stuff, go do what you are supposed to do. I am tired, don’t come and disturb me anymore. I shall take a nap first.”

“This...” They were Green-level Honorary Aristocrats, after all. It was too embarrassing for them to pester others to fight with them. They shared a look and prepared to leave. “Since that’s the case, we can only wait for the advancement assessment to spar with you.”

“Whatever.” Hong Dali stretched his body and said, “Go look for other people, I shall sleep first...”

The two of them shared a look and went back to report the situation.

At this timing, the other Honorary Aristocrats were all quite nervous. After all, the advancement assessment was about to start, none of them was confident if they could succeed or not. If they succeeded, they would gain a lot of resources. If not, the assets under them would vanish instantly.

But as for Hong Dali, he directly fell asleep there...

...

The two of them failed in challenging Hong Dali and hurriedly reported back to their boss.

“My Lord, Hong Dali didn’t accept our challenge. It looks like he isn’t worried at all about the upcoming assessment.” One of them said, “Also, he is actually sleeping there.”

“Hm? Sleeping?” Li Xuancheng was a bit shocked too. “He actually managed to sleep in such an environment!?”

This was the advancement assessment, this would affect the advancement prospect of an Honorary Aristocrat for the next one or few years, who would dare to disregard this? Even if there were some minor changes in the rules this time, but one thing wouldn’t change.

That was, the benefits for those who succeeded in advancing would definitely be a lot!

After all, for a person who had total assets worth a million, he might increase it tenfold to 10 million after the advancement assessment. Or, the person’s assets might become 100,000, decreased by tenfold—under such a situation, who was able to keep their calm?

But this Hong Dali...

“Alright, the two of you may leave first.” Li Xuancheng waved his hand and said, “Ask the others to hold back for now. Wait for the assessment to start first, then see the situation.”

“Yes!” The two Green-level Honorary Aristocrats then left the place.

“I have heard that this fellow is very carefree and leisure.” Jiang Dongliu gave very high praise to Hong Dali for his performance. “I like this attitude of not being alarmed or panic no matter what he encounters. Haha, he is a person capable of achieving big things!”

“Humph, he is indeed quite interesting.” Li Xuancheng touched his beard and said, “Alright, the advancement assessment is about to start, our gamble will be starting soon too. Let’s go to the venue.”

“Of course.” Jiang Dongliu shrugged and said, “As you wish.”

...

In the venue for the advancement assessment.

The participants all gathered in their small cliques, chatting with each other. Suddenly, more than a thousand young and pretty women walked in from the entrance. Once they came in, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Yup, the auditors are here.” Seeing these young women, Huaqing instantly introduced to Ling Xiaoyi. “Later, these auditors will come and confirm with you the basic data for the assets. If there is any new project, you can report to them immediately too and notify them of the expected earnings.”

“Okay, I got it.” This kind of matter was naturally tasked to Ling Xiaoyi to settle, so Hong Dali... wouldn’t have to wake up.

As expected, very quickly, an auditor came up to Huaqing, saluted, smiled and said, “Greetings, you are Young Master Huaqing, right? Please come with me.”

“Okay.” Huaqing instantly followed him.

The two of them went to a quiet corner and the auditor started to show him the data of his assets for the year—

“The assets under your name are three hotels with a total investment of 19.5 million, two private clubs with a total investment of 12.6 million, two high-class entertainment businesses with a total investment of 21.2 million, and one factory with an investment of 17.3 million. Currently, the total earnings for the year are 126 million. Deducting away the cost and stuff, the net profit ratio is 165.88%. Is there anything that you would like to add?”

Since she was able to become an auditor, she had naturally checked through all of his assets strictly and thoroughly. Therefore, Huaqing instantly nodded and said, “Yup, there’s no issue.”

“Okay.” The auditor instantly said, “Since there isn’t an issue, I shall report the data as it is now.”

“Okay.”

Over here at Huaqing’s side, things were settled very quickly. On the other side, the auditor in charge of Hong Dali stood with Ling Xiaoyi at a corner and was discussing some stuff, and it lasted for an entire half an hour. The auditor’s face was filled with surprise, shock, disbelief, and various other expressions.

After Ling Xiaoyi was done with her words, the auditor hurriedly ran out...

“Sister Xiaoyi.” After Ling Xiaoyi came back, Tang Muxin hurriedly asked, “What did you two talk about just now?”

“Oh, nothing much.” Ling Xiaoyi smiled and said, “I just told her in detail about the things that the Young Master did recently. She needs to go back and reassess Young Master’s assets, I am afraid that she will be quite busy for a bit.”

Ling Xiaoyi was right, this reassessing took almost an hour before the auditor ran back to them and conversed with Ling Xiaoyi again. In the end, Ling Xiaoyi finally nodded. It looked like things were about done.

...

Finally, after Hong Dali slept for two hours, a loud voice suddenly sounded as the emcee loudly shouted, “The time for the advancement assessment has started, all participants please enter the venue!”

Hearing this, everyone in the venue gathered over and entered the large hall where the true advancement assessment was held at—previously, no one was allowed to loiter around this hall, this was specially allocated for the advancement assessment. The advancement assessment for the business Honorary Aristocrats would be held here. As for the competition for the warrior Honorary Aristocrats, it would be held at another venue. However, the warrior Honorary Aristocrats could enter this place and spectate the advancement assessment too.

Therefore, the large group of Honorary Aristocrats all flocked into the hall. Hong Dali looked around at the surroundings, and then looked at Tianyi and said, “Brother Tianyi, can we bring our subordinates inside? From what I observed, the others all went in themselves.”

“We are not allowed to bring others in. If not, there would be too many people inside if every Honorary Aristocrat brings along some people.” Tianyi had resolutely decided to suck up to Hong Dali, he asked, “Brother Dali, shall we enter now?”

At this moment, Tang Muxin worriedly asked from the side, “Dali, will you be okay yourself?”

“Ah, not an issue.” Hong Dali rubbed his nose and said, “If I really can’t handle, I will shout for you guys to go in and help me, hehe.”

Speaking of which, could they really seek outside assistance at such a formal occasion?

“Don’t worry, Young Master.” However, Ling Xiaoyi wasn’t in the least worried. She had informed the auditor of everything that was required. Seeing that Hong Dali was about to enter the hall, Ling Xiaoyi smiled and said, “I have arranged everything, so there is no need to worry, Young Master. Inside, just sleep or read s as you like.”

“Oh, alright, I got it.” Hong Dali grinned and nodded. “Sister Xiaoyi is really impressive, I shall go in now!” Therefore, with Acka sitting on his head, this fellow leisurely entered the hall. He had decided that if there was nothing to do inside, he shall just play with this bird!

Very quickly, Hong Dali went inside the hall. By this time, everyone inside had already found the seat with their name on it.

Hong Dali’s location was in the area that belonged to the Jiang Family from Shenluo City. Overall speaking, the entire hall was split into three segments. On the leftmost side, the warrior Honorary Aristocrats were seated there, with the Black-level Honorary Aristocrats at the most front, the Purple-level behind them, and so on. At the back was naturally the Red-level Honorary Aristocrats, which was also the most in numbers.

Then, at the center, the total number of people here was much less, about 30 to 40 plus. At the front was a Purple and Black-level Double Honorary Aristocrat. This person should be the strongest Double Honorary Aristocrat from the Jiang Family and the Yin Family. However, his distance was a bit far, so Hong Dali wasn’t able to see the words on his back clearly. Behind that person was a Blue and Purple-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, then Blue and Green-level, and so on. By Hong Dali’s row, the number of people was slightly more, with about six people who were about the same rank as him. As for those even lower-ranking, there were about 14 of them.

Then, on the right-hand side were where the main characters for this time’s advancement assessment, the business Honorary Aristocrats.

The ones at the front were still the Black-levels, and so on. At the back were the Red-level Honorary Aristocrats. This bunch was the most nervous. After all, they were the most in numbers and also the easiest to be eliminated.

This three-segment made up half of the hall.

As for the other half, it was was the Honorary Aristocrats that Li Tianxing brought over.

Their seating was similar to that at this side too, also split into the warrior segment, Double Honorary Aristocrat segment, and business segment. However, at the front of the Double Honorary Aristocrat segment, there was a person who completely attracted Hong Dali’s attention.

That was a young man with a cape that was half-black and half-white. Judging from his back view, he should be about 1.9 meters tall, his shoulder was quite broad, and his blue-colored hair was simply tied together with a string, looking very casual. But coupled with that cape...

Without question, this person was naturally the one that Jiang Qianxue specially mentioned previously, the strongest Honorary Aristocrat that Li Tianxing brought here this time, Li Haokong!
